The environment, KDE, comes with a pre-packaged software center named Discover.
I stumbled upon the “Discover” software center a few weeks ago when we did a video demonstrating how to install a full Linux desktop environment on a Chromebook. While that’s still an option, I really like the look of this piece of software so I thought I’d share. Our first look at a Linux App Store for Chromebooks came in the form of the Gnome Software Center. That said, I have discovered another method in which you can add a clean, quite handy Linux App Store to your Chromebook that will allow you to find and install new applications with a single click. Far from it but I am a tinkerer and I’m happy to try things out that many users just aren’t willing to in the hopes of demystifying things a bit. So, I’m always looking for new ways to make it easier for the average user to find, install and utilize these applications. As we’ve demonstrated in previous articles, using Linux apps on Chrome OS can offer functionalities that were previously impossible on a Chromebook. Until that day comes, I want to assist users in making the most of their Chromebooks and Linux applications bring a lot to the table.
